The best offense is HAVING A STRONG RUNNING GAME AND DEFENSE. Holy ****. If you can run the ball they way we used to. It would.

A. Keep the opposing offense off the field longer
B. Give our Defense more time to take a breather
C. Let the best game "manager" in Ben to make some plays
D. Open up the PA pass with Wallace/Brown/Sanders

You can think what you want, I would rather be run,run pass like yesterday. Its just our Oline is to banged up right now. When Adams comes back healthy the run game will improve.

There are some flaws in this reasoning:

A. Over time it has shown it doesn't matter. Teams that want to score fast will regardless of how long the Steelers have possessed the ball.

B. This defense has shown it can blow a lead even when the offense owns time of possession.

C. Then don't bitch when he can't bail the team out every time. When you handcuff him on 1st and 2nd downs, he won't always be able to bail you out on 3rd down. When you handcuff him for the first 58 minutes of a game, he won't always be able to win it in the last 2. Ben needs to do more earlier in the game.

D. That wasn't the case this year. They hardly ever took shots because they were scared Ben would get hurt or scared that they wouldn't possess the ball as long if they scored too quickly.

The Steelers are no longer built to be the team yinzer nation wants them to be. Instead of fearing the quick strike teams, the Steelers need to become one.

Funny the Falcons didn't skip a beat after changing OC's in 2012. The Colts went from 2-14 to the playoffs under Arians. The Bengals changed in 2011 and went to the playoffs the next two years. The broncos didn't change OC's, but certainly changed their offense(teblow to Manning) and they are up there with the best in the league. Packers, new OC, new tendencies same results. Patriots new OC same results.However, the supposed messiah that has had ONE FREAKING WINNING RECORD as an OC needs time.
